Sir:
In response to your letter of the nineteenth instant, which was referred to this Bureau for a reply, you are advised that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. File No. 32,208, it appears that Isaiah Fuller lived at Montague, Franklin County, Mass. when he enlisted. In January 1778, he served as a private in Capt. Asa Barnes' Company, Col. Sargent's Mass. Regiment, until November 1778.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 11, 1818, at which time he was in his eighty-third year and resided in Montague, Mass. In 1818 he stated that he had but one living child, a married daughter, her name is not stated, nor is there any further data on file as to his family.

Dear Sir,
Hester Dennis Chief of Law Dept.
Your census lists for Essex Co. N.Y. 1860-70-80 received and the Pension record of Daniel Fuller, and was very glad to get them.
Yes. I note the gradual decrease in Fullers in the County, but am puzzled as to why Chesterfield is listed -
  1850 25 Fullers } And Whallonsburg   1860 no " 1850 none   1870 no " 1860 none   1880 16 " 1870 60 Fullers 1880 no " 
I have just got through indexing them under "Fullers" & "Places", and have not had time to study up connections yet. Does the Pension office charge a fee. I should like a full report on Isaiah of Montague, Mass. "S. 32706" and Isaac of St. Ray, Jefferson Co. N.Y. "W. 11029" Respectfully yours M c H. Fuller Palmer Mass.
